Poor goat. :( What happened?

I know this can also be an issue in horses. We feed free-choice Selenium blocks to the horses & the goats had one in their pasture, too...which they licked all of the time.

But we've never given a goat an injection for that....

The selenium deficiency is really bad where she is.She had moved there and it was a long time before she got all info figured out. Here's the info:

I recommend BoSe injection be given to your goats at min. yearly. Goats need that here rare feathers....this area is very selenium insufficient. I gave to mine when I got them in at the beginning of May. I hear once a year is good. Not sure if that was the problem with these goats but I am only an hour from you so I know it is necessary.

Yes...all of them are/were dewormed on a regular, scheduled basis....I cannot remember all of the different vaccines they had....

Deworming on a schedule or frequently is a management practice that is asking for trouble. It doesn't apply to this situation but if you're gonna have goats then you need to understand how and when to deworm. I really suggest that you read this thread on parasite management to understand more: http://www.backyardherds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=12553
